Abstract
A fuel processor assembly for producing a hydrogen rich stream for a fuel cell includes a reformer, a vaporizer adjacent the reformer, a heat transfer block around at least a portion of the reformer and the vaporizer and a heating element coupled to the heat transfer block for providing heat to the block during start up. To cold start the fuel processor, the heating element is activated to heat the heat transfer block. When a temperature of the heat transfer block reaches operational for the reformer, the heating element is turned off and an alternative source of heat is utilized for the endothermic reaction.
